The court of Nuh Additional Sessions Judge Ajay Kumar Verma has sentenced a Chahlka village resident to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 5,000 for killing his wife over dowry.

The accused, identified as Kasim, was booked for murdering his wife, Sajida, after his demand — a car and Rs 2 lakh in dowry — was not met, based on a complaint lodged by his wife’s family in 2021.

He was arrested but eventually let out on bail.

The court held him guilty and reserved the quantum of punishment.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
